Well, I'm a consultant so I don't have a company to give me insurance, which is why I pay for it now. My wife has decided to go back to work, so she'll be getting it eventually, but tri-care is ok for the short term.
As for deployment, well, who knows? I mean, I don't care. I would be making this choice based on the full knowledge that we are at war on two fronts. It would be silly for me, even moving from infantry to some pogue mos, to expect otherwise. Hell, my last company XO was an intel officer that was branch detailed infantry. No ranger tab, eib, or real infantry training.
